Sometimes it's frustrating to see how blind & ignorant people are.

The powers that be have done a remarkable job programming us. thumbs up!

When you bring up conspiracy. The public is programed to call you wacky

I know it's not in the government's DNA to do anything unjust to the public.

In 1763 THEY would never give SMALLPOX to native Americans, or in 1932 give SYPHILIS to

the Tuskegee Airmen. disbelief


You may want to double-check:

(1) your date on the smallpox (you're off by several generations);

(2) the ID of the actual victims of th syphillis "experiments" (it wasn't the airmen, but another unfortunate group); and

(3) whether a unit of airmen organized on-the-fly (pardon the pun) as part of the US mobilization for WWII could have existed 9 years before Pearl Harbor.

Actually. here in tenafly new jersey they do teach about the articles... Considering i went there smile..

They taught it in Philadelphia schools at the time also...and I am almost Prince's age as well.

Anyhoo, I didn't find anything unusual about what Prince said because I'm used to the way he communicates. His statements frequently come out awkward but I normally get what he's driving at. I cringe because I know that most people will be like, eek

Besides, I found Tavis to be far more creepy in that interview than Prince. All the groveling and bowing and scraping was weird. lol

Well said

every time prince says something intelligent factual and based in reality, some programmed dipshit labels him a conspiracy theory nut.

You’re right. His belief that there is a conspiracy to put chemi...ver cities is utterly factual and believeable and it is wrong for us to assume he’s just plain crazy. Likewise it is utterly ridculous to question Prince’s belief that he was kept from knowing about the history of America under the Articles of the Confederation despite the fact that said articles were republished and written a...€™s birth.

Regardless of yours or my personal belief regarding chemicals we are exposed to in our food water and air constantly, for you to simply cast off any information that questions your current beliefs is pure ignorance.

Check out Wikipedia on this one http://en.wikipedia.org/w...federation

Scroll down to "Presidents to the Congress". Prince was right both technically these

Presidents weren't considered executive branch presidents but presided over Congress.

The point I think Prince made is this is a very complex country with interesting beginnings.

No. The point Prince was trying to make was that there was some sort of conspiracy to cover-up certain parts of history in schools.

Tavis was a total embarrassment in that "interview". At no point did he even mildly challenge Prince's absurd statements. He showed zero journalistic integrity.

The thing about Prince is that he's one of those individuals who is suckered in by what's advertised as 'secret' or 'priviledged' information. He reacts like he's discovered the Holy Grail and is now bathed in The Truth and we all need to learn about this. Fact is he's gullible as hell and has been taken for a ride. Take a good look and listen to Larry Graham. Anyone with a modicum of discernment can smell that guy from a mile away. Total CHARLATAN. Yet Prince swallows Larry's BS hook, line, and sinker. Pitiful.

I repeat my question.

Are you an American?

If you are not you don't really understand the full nature of what I have been trying to educate you with.

People believe what they want you to believe and when you start to question their paradigm they get defensive.

The 33 Conspiracies that turned out to be true are an example. The American government under the guise of the FBI refused to admit that a Mafia existed until after the death of J. Edgar Hoover.

As a result millions of people believed the "great lie" that there was no nationwide organized criminal syndicate.

That's how you are programmed.

Google MK Ultra .

This was a fully sanctioned government program that involved changing behavior patterns. This lasted from WWII until the early 1970's. When the program was discovered after Watergate then CIA Director George H Bush had the documents destroyed to prevent Congress from seeing what they were doing.

Cult behaviors in America in the late 60's thru the 1990's also highlight some good examples of mind control. Charles Manson's Family and the Jim Jones Kool Aid trip come to mind here. Jim Jones's mass suicide has a National Security stamp on it with over 4 million pages of CIA documents still classified.

Shit that is just "crazy" would not be classified more than 30 years after it happened. People in America are trained just to accept these kindergarden answers as truth. When you dig further you realize that something unusual has occured and then the media calls you a "conspiracy theorist" for asking the question why.

When Prince mentioned there were 8 presidents before Washington.

The first thought came to mind was, WHAT THE FUCK!!! omfg

The next day I started asking people at my job. Lawyers, doctors, accountants, & etc.

They thought I was crazy. wacky Only a few knew.

I started researching myself, and found out the first president name was John Hansen.

A BLACK MAN!

Maybe thats the reason why it's not being taught? rolleyes

Also heard president Thomas Jefferson mother was a Moor.

Guess Obama isn't the first black president. hmmm

Okay, we are lied to everyday by the government, and the businesses, and the television, and we have to know there are lies everywhere. Come on. Everyone believes a lie somewhere, whether that lie is intentional or not. Does it matter? Some lies may actually keep us safe, while others do tremendous harm. Life's a bitch in this department. All that we can do is survive, but we will never stop the lies.

BTW, Prince has told a few in his time as well.

And why is America named after Amerigo Vespucci if Columbus (ahem) "discovered" it?

Is this a history lesson or some bullshit? If you don't know the expanded history of the US, it's not the fault of the schools rather the fault of YOU. Knowledge is power. smile

all the media, tv, newspapers, radio owned by the same person, telling the same biased non investigative report with no research or verification. this has been used to justify to the programmed public that our constitution is irrelevant, that we can attack countries full of innocent people without good verified and valid cause.

we elect representatives based upon fear oriented programming, fake terror threats designed to boost the elite control over the masses with tsa screeners and unwarrented searches and wire tapping.

we are fed destructive chemicals in our food water and air constantly keeping the public sedated, stressed, distracted, sick, unable to think or stand up for our rights as humans, content to get sicker and sicker and die in a system designed to control and reduce the population.

you are programmed to accept your own oppression and to fear those who will not.

...and, becasue you so know much about it, what's the conspiracy?

-Programming takes place in schools (you want people to learn the history of everything?)

-Be a slave (Obviously not good but also doesn't understand the psychological need from some who want to be told what to do - read Freud).

-Media outlets have few owners (certainly not one, though), and some are more powerful than others. But a bigger organization means bigger resources...otherwise, the only news we'd get would be local.

-The attacking countries with innocent people line is too vague. I can't answer.

-Fake terror threats. You have proof they're fake? Elites have to go through TSA screeners too!

-The food and water line has some merit but you lose the plot connecting it to keeping people sick.

So, in summary, if you just let your points speak for themselves you might have something. In many cases, these things are the way they are because we are an imperfect species, trying to survive modernity. Trying to survive. We're all different. Some of us are good, some bad. The world looks exactly as it does when it's run by such a species. You let yourself down when you try to connect all these points towards some overarching conspiracy to keep us down. We both know life isn't that clear-cut. C'mon, you seem smarter.

I dont recall saying anything about conspiracies .. tho i did respond to the "programming" topic contained within a post that contained conspiracy discussion .. i would agree we are all programmed on some level depending on what we are exposed to .. we also absorb and if our environment is saturated with messages to buy this or fear that or think this or get on this drug or eat this garbage or poison ur own kid with floride or whatever line of bs they wanna feed u .. then we absorb that too.

I think its important to realize that this sort of bombardment shapes how we think about things. The fake terrorism I refer to that is verified is that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. There is plenty more blatent dishonesty out there but this everyone seems to agree is legit. As is the fact that bankers control the market, the laws and the economy to their benefit. And Medical errors and reaction to prescribed Pharmacuticals is the number one cause of death in the US. A majority of the drugs are designed to keep you purchasing the drug often for life. There are addatives in the food that cause addiction to junk foods. And medicines so that u can keep eating junk foods that are literally killing you. And we have doctors on TV recommending fast food diets and cosmetic surgery and deadly untested vaccines and the list goes on, while no one thinks to question any of it.

It is important to recognize the programming and unravel your thinking from it to see what is really there so that you can choose for yourself what is right for you. PS 9/11 was an inside job.

I dont recall saying anything about conspiracies .. tho i did respond to the "programming" topic contained within a post that contained conspiracy discussion .. i would agree we are all programmed on some level depending on what we are exposed to .. we also absorb and if our environment is saturated with messages to buy this or fear that or think this or get on this drug or eat this garbage or poison ur own kid with floride or whatever line of bs they wanna feed u .. then we absorb that too.

I think its important to realize that this sort of bombardment shapes how we think about things. The fake terrorism I refer to that is verified is that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. There is plenty more blatent dishonesty out there but this everyone seems to agree is legit. As is the fact that bankers control the market, the laws and the economy to their benefit. And Medical errors and reaction to prescribed Pharmacuticals is the number one cause of death in the US.

Well, in that case. You really aren't saying anything new. Welcome to human nature.

It's a shame because I was kinda with you until your silly 9/11 postscript. Can I offer some advice? Please broaden your reading material and stay off the conspiracy websites. The evidence AGAINST it being an inside job is so overwhelming, no serious person doubts it. Yet, you guys still refuse to listen. I wonder why? Check out a new book called Voodoo Histories. It’s fun, smart, and sane, and takes a hard look at the last centuries most well-known conspiracies. In it there is a whole chapter that systematically rips apart every flimsy 9/11 debunk, and the nefarious people who perpetuate them. Even Noam Chomsky, no friend to the Bush administration and US military complex, scoffs at the debunkers. Why? Because they’re insane and ignore the facts.

Once again, you seem quite smart, why let yourself down by believing in bogus arguments. You're like a creationist refusing to believe in evolution. You can't factually explain why evolution is wrong (an impossible task) so you take the paranoid approach - it's a conspiracy/we’re all programmed etc etc.
